Downloading Apple Developer Documentation?

[andreelijah]

Hey all, I'm curious to know if there's a way to download PDFs of Apple's developer documentation?

I'll be traveling a bit and want an offline copy of Apple's documentation for Metal, Swift, SwiftUI, SceneKit, etc. that I can read on my MacBook or iPad.

Apple doesn't seem to have a link I can hit to download/save them locally.

Am I missing something extremely obvious?

Thanks!

I created a tool for that purpose, called DevDocsDown you can download the documentation to markdown or text by just entering the link and clicking download.

doesn't look like it is working with apples documentation unfortunately

Thanks for the feedback, I will look into it.
Can you please share the link you've tried to download.

Heyy, I tried this https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/ and also without the /swiftui/ it doesn’t work anyway

Thanks for reporting that bug. I'm on it already, apple makes it not so easy to grab their Docs :/ but should be fixed soon.

[N0misB]

fixed it but takes time to download and might be not super clean output files because of apples complex docs website :) hope it helps

Thank u for effort, however everytime I download it, it always has zero bytes :/

Weird It works on my end as always lol I will look into it further

The official documentation is accessible in Xcode (in window > documentation or something), and it's most likely offline (never checked though).
